Clear trash and brush from the irrigation ditch bank serving the Vado colonia.

The irrigation ditch that waters fields near the Vado colonia south of Las Cruces has trash and brush built up along its bank, slowing flow and fouling the headgate screen this farming community depends on. Bank-side clearing, without entering the waterway, restores flow and is the first step in caring for this stretch of ditch.

This packet is not funded yet, so this figure is a proposed price and not money waiting in escrow. If a buyer funds it, approved proof settles that price onchain.

You see which before you claim, never after.

Proof

Before and after photo of the cleared bank stretch plus length logged.

This is exactly what gets it approved. Nothing settles without it.

How this work is done

A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it.

Steps

1. Walk the ditch bank from the public access point and note trash, brush, and blockages visible from the bank.
2. Clear trash and loose brush from the bank and the visible waterline edge by hand, without entering the waterway.
3. Rake cleared debris away from the bank to a collection point for hauling.
4. Check the bank for erosion or slumping and note any spot needing the ditch association's attention.
5. Photograph the cleared bank stretch and log the length cleared.

The standard this serves

Water Efficiency. Water efficiency is the quiet discipline of wasting nothing indoors. The EPA's WaterSense program sets the marks: how many gallons a minute a faucet should pass, how to find the leak that runs a toilet all night, how a household's water bill tells a story. Mastery looks like an auditor who can walk a home in an hour and find every hidden gallon. The skill is built one fixture at a time, which is exactly what this packet asks: measure one flow, find one leak, record one truth about where the water goes.
